The Fall Competitive Masters Program is designed for experienced club and competitive rowers – men and women – and will focus on maximizing technique and fitness in preparation for the fall head racing season. Rowers will train to compete at distances of 5000 meters in the fall season.

Practice lineups and race entries will include options for men’s, women’s and mixed boats in 8s, 4s, quads and doubles in order to maximize training and participation benefits. Coaches, with the intent of making each experience positive and competitive, will determine line ups and race entries and may use seat racing and erg tests for boat selection.

We are always interested in expanding our team and welcome new members. Please email us at
and our coaches and program directors would be glad to talk with you about our programs. Program details and registrations are below.

Fee includes $25 Kendal waterfront fee, and one entry per person to CRI, Textile and Fish regattas. Additional entries for these regattas, plus HOCR entry fees, are not included in program fee and rowers will be responsible for those costs.
